@lokithestrange I can't "just" start working on it.
Also, plan pretty much worked--I texted him asking if he's coming, he said he can tomorrow (Wednesday), I said ok, then he brought up how he could take us to the liquor store if we want, and I said ok cool.

@lokithestrange: That was supposed to be a "this sentence is false" type thing but I guess I screwed it up.

@cannoneer: So go to the doctors then. It's well worth the $10 or $20 co-pay... Better hurry up and do so before they repeal Obamacare or else it will be several hundred dollars.

@lokithestrange: It's not a diet issue, though. My right foot (and ankle) is messed up. Foam rolling it hasn't done anything either. I'm tempted to stab the area with something dull.

@cannoneer: Just eat one banana a day you dingus! Potassium deficiency is a major cause of cramps.

@upcomingnerd: If this cramp in my foot doesn't go away soon, I'll probably take you up on that advice. Just get one to lie on the floor so I can roll my foot out on her head while I eat and watch football.

@cannoneer: Find a girl with low self-esteem that you can use for crap you don't want to do yourself. Not a gf, just a girl.

I need some suggestions for the best tool to massage your own feet with. Tennis balls are too soft, baseballs are too big to get the spot I want, a golf ball is too small to get the spot I want, store-bought massage tools are pieces of garbage, rolling it on a screwdriver didn't work, I can't use the corner of tables because I end up pushing the table across the floor, and I don't have a girlfriend I can bribe for massages at the moment. I think I'm gonna find a perfectly shaped rock unless someone has any better ideas.

@ecarina: May I ask why? Do you have any advice for me then?

Don't take this advice.

@xronellx: Nothing much, they don't really make an impression on me. However, when able, I always try to incorporate them into group discussions. I don't know, maybe I just feel bad for them secretly.

@salad: The Ghoti would hear it first as they have ears, but maybe not as the water might dampen the sound.

@fradddd: I always forget the age here is 21. Did you know they chose the age 21 because it's a number of great significance? 21 is really 7 x 3, as in the medieval time's 7 x 3. IE 7 being an important number and 3 being an important number, by 7 you were a page, by 14 a squire, and by 21 a Knight; but who knows? The age used to be 18 here, so that all could be unsubstantiated hearsay... Anyways if you're set on that texting plan you must be confident in it's success rate. You know your friend the best out of all of us, so go for it if you think it'll work.
Other Advice: starting is the hardest part. That essays/hw/whatever you've been putting off, just start working on it.

@upcomingnerd "do you overthink everything" yes, but to be fair, my old roommate was also overthinking it. I think I'll just do my texting plan.

@fradddd: If he used to buy you alchy, pretty sure it isn't going to be some huge surprise to him. Do you overthink everything in your life?

@upcomingnerd on the other hand, sometimes it can be fun to be nice and friendly towards quiet people, cause then you can get them to talk and laugh and come out of their shell.
But nah, let's just make fun of them.

OT: I need some advice.

Me and my old roommate have a friend who is 21 who used to buy us alcohol.
But this semester he dropped out.

Now, he's coming back to hang out tomorrow, but I don't think he knows we're planning to get him to buy us alcohol (we always give him cash beforehand of course, and we all drive there).

So we don't want it to seem like we only want to hang out for the sole purpose of him getting us alcohol.
My old roommate wants to just tell him we're getting him a "surprise", then drive to the liquor store, then tell him the surprise is us pitching in $40 so he can buy himself something.

But I don't like this idea because I think he'd see right through it anyway, then it's weird cause we were trying to be devious.

My idea is just to text him "so you're coming up here tomorrow?" and he'll say "yeah" and I'll say "awesome. would ya wanna go on a liquor run while you're here?" And maybe save the liquor part for a few hours after the "awesome".

Waddya think?

If a lumberjack cuts down a tree in the woods, do the people back in the city hear it first or do the fish in the lake do?

@xronellx: I think quiet people are boring and are fun to pick on. For instance, last sept I met a guy in school who I befriended and have started to hang out with. But every time we chill, I pick on him and I tell him that he needs to learn to stand up for himself. Lately I thought he was gaining a backbone but then an hour ago, he messages me on fb whining about how I was mean to him at the kegger on the weekend.

Quiet people are just loud people who are too afraid to speak out.

@xronellx people who don't know me well often tell me I'm quiet. People who do know me well would never say such a thing. I just have less to say to people I don't know well--and I thought that was the same with most people.
I am also fine with silence every so often, instead of meaningless filler. But too many people will say "AWKWARD SILENCE LOL" when in a group of people who have a gap in the conversation.

@xronellx: There's the intimidating, calculated, and disinterested quiet and then there's the insecure, weird, and socially inept quiet. Body language will tell the difference. In general I assume most quiet people are awkward because in my experience they usually are. I'm introverted myself, but not in the sense that most people have become accustomed to when they hear that word thrown around. That's my 2 cents on the topic. Gets used as an excuse too often if you ask me.

@lokithestrange: but what should you do if she's in the trunk of your car and crying

What do you think of quiet individuals?

@fradddd: 100.000 or so.

Random advice: Women are just as desperate as Men, they are also just as shy.

Find a pretty girl, look at her breast and smile. If she smiles back, she's interested, say hello ask her out. If she ignores you, she has a boyfriend already or is not interested in you.

@lokithestrange out of how many genes

@fradddd: No, skin colour is decided by only about 30-40 genes.

Do black people really have an extra muscle in their thigh?

@lokithestrange: That's the problem tho tbh. Too many people confide in me. But I appreciate your answer, thanks.

@upcomingnerd: Keep the secret, you'll become more trust worthy and people will open up to you more... unless the secret is life threatening.

@burning: That did not help at all.

@upcomingnerd:

"Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead." - Benjamin Franklin

If someone tells me a secret, is it more important that I keep the secret or tell others who can help the person who's secret I was promised to keep?
